Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on April 11, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Jason Varitek! The legendary captain who always knew how to handle a pitch—whether it was behind the plate or rallying teammates. Your iconic glove-to-face moment with A-Rod still makes Red Sox Nation smile wider than Big Papi after hitting one over the Green Monster.

From catching four no-hitters and leading Boston to two unforgettable World Series championships, you've proven that leadership isn't just about calling pitches; it's also knowing when to give an opponent some friendly "advice." Here's hoping your birthday is as epic as your career—and may you celebrate like you're sweeping another Yankees series!
